Description: Authentic Traditional Mexican Talavera Sun & Moon Eclipse Ceramic Wall Art 8 3/4 Inches Across This beautiful wall art is a stunning example of traditional Mexican Talavera pottery. The intricate design features the sun and moon in a mesmerizing eclipse pattern. The hand-painted design showcases the quality and authenticity of this handmade piece, which was created in Puebla, Mexico. Named after the Spanish city of Talavera de la Reina, this uniquely Mexican ceramic has gained worldwide acclaim for its high quality and beauty. A blend of indigenous and European artistry, the history of Talavera is as colorful as its various patterns. The Mexican pottery is a type of majolica (faience) or tin-glazed earthenware, with a white base glaze typical of the type. Authentic Talavera pottery mainly comes from Talavera de la Reina in Spain, and the town of San Pablo del Monte (in Tlaxcala) and the cities of Puebla, Atlixco, Cholula and Tecali, in Mexico; as the clays needed and the history of this craft are both centered there. All pieces are hand-thrown on a potter's wheel and the glazes contain tin and lead, as they have since colonial times. This glaze must craze, be slightly porous and milky-white, but not pure white. There are only six permitted colors: blue, yellow, black, green, orange and red, and these colors must be made from natural pigments. Crafted by hand with precision and care, this piece is a true work of art. This unique piece is a perfect addition to any collection and is a representation of the Mexican culture. The item is handmade and is a featured refinement of Talavera pottery. Signed by artist.
